If it help you it was cargo train No. 8982 with locomotive No. 354.762. Locomotive was damaged but "possible repairerable". Railwayman Josef Zlata was wounded on neck and left arm. A roof of one house was damaged.

Hi Michal

Just found this post and thought you would be interested in what the 406 Sqn ORB has to say:-

30/31-3-45 S/L D.B.Freeman, F/L J.J.Greene in NT453.
Up 21:15. Down 04:05.
Ranger to Prague area from St. Dizier. Pilzen, Ruzyne, Krelupy, Pardubice not lit but at the latter a Fw190 was seen and damaged on the ground and two Me323's were badly damaged at Chrudim(not lit). Locomotive exploded at 02:15 at Nymburk. Three good attacks on another train at Herrnbergtheim at 02:40. Landed at Toul-Ochey. Slight cloud and haze, moonlight.

Did you find any more info ?
